Dr. Michael Andrew Hunter, MD

Dr. Hunter is not only a very good physician, but a compassionate healer. He also works with an excellent staff. I feel very fortunate to have found them and can't thank enough for their care.

This is the first time I've rated a physician. I've never had stellar healthcare that urged me to write. But I had to share with others, especially breast cancer patients, about this phenomenal radiation oncologist I met. He was recommended to me by another doctor when I was struggling with some treatment decisions. That referring doc said Dr. Hunter was the smartest doctor heâ??d ever met. I agree wholeheartedly. Just weeks after my diagnosis of Stage IIIB breast cancer, I was still in a state of shock and chaos. By that time, I had consulted with at least 20 various oncologists at two different cancer hospitals. I was worn out from being bombarded with information, some of which were questionable or conflicting. So, I really needed someone to make sense of it all for me and help me clear my head. Dr. Hunter is a â??dataâ?? guy. I love that because not only am I data-inclined, itâ??s kind of critical when youâ??re about to do crazy things to your body to beat the cancer. He spent well… over an hour and a half getting to know me, understanding where I was coming from, and where I wanted to go with treatment. He took great care to explain the what, why, how, when of diagnosis and treatment backed by data and his knowledge of ongoing research. I didnâ??t choose him to be my RADONC solely because I chose SCCA as my provider for overall care, but I was so thankful for the time spent with him. Fast forward 9 months after chemo and mastectomy and I found myself back in his office. I was conflicted about proton vs. photon therapy and he spent another hour with me explaining his recommendation. He prepared thoroughly for our visit by reviewing all of my records to date and he even called two other top RADONCâ??s in the nation to get their opinions on my case as well. He gave me a complete picture of my case starting with diagnosis to chemo response to mastectomy success and reassured me that going with photon radiation would be a sound decision. I had not gotten this kind of recap of my care and progress or this kind of reassurance in how well my health has improved from my own set of doctors at SCCA. As much as Iâ??m thankful for my doctors, Dr. Hunter truly goes above and beyond. I wish I wouldâ??ve gone with him even if heâ??s not in the SCCA network, but the consultation time and money Iâ??ve spent with him are golden. Seeing him is a must if you are gathering information and trying to choose doctors for your cancer care.

I was fortunate to have had Dr. Hunter as my radiation oncologist after being diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer. He tells you like it is, is very informative and comprehensive when giving you information, but his delivery is always gentle and warm. You'll notice his excellent manners, which might be a strange thing to comment on, but he really is the most gracious and courteous person. During appointments he patiently listens and his answers are backed by his "over 6000 patients" experience. He also has an excellent nurse, Melissa, and works with an amazing staff of radiation therapists. I'm grateful to have had him on my team!

Dr. Hunter is brilliant, kind, dedicated and his team saved my life.

Dr. Hunter and his staff are phenomenal!! I got great care and feel Blessed that I was able to meet and work with them all!!

Wonderful Doctor and genuinely a kind and caring person. He is careful to ensure that I and my loved ones understand the diagnoses and the treatment plans.

I went to Dr. Hunter when I was first diagnosed with Cancer. At the beginning, I was very impressed with him. He was kind and very knowledgable. But when I did not choose to proceed with the treatment he prescribed, then he became a different person. He tried to scare me, and even said that I would die... if my cancer returned ( without having done the treatments he suggested ). It saddened me that he would use a fear tactic to scare me into a treatment, that I did not feel good about. I wish he would have respected me and my decisions and choices about MY OWN BODY! I could not in good conscience recommend him.

SIMPLY THE BEST

Dr. Hunter is the most professional yet personal doctor I have ever met. My husband and I went into his office scared after learning of my husband's prostate cancer and left Dr. Hunter's office with great hope and high expectations. Can't say enough great things about this doctor.

Dr. Hunter is simply the best. Knowledgeable, professional, thorough, honest. He patiently answers all questions, takes weekend phone calls and is genuine. I love all of the staff too. Jan, Heather, Carol, Melissa, everyone is extra special. He has a GREAT team.
